Lloyds bank student overdraft

I currently have a student account with lloyds bank and am currently into my overdraft with them by £500. I have tried multiple times to extend the amount of the overdraft but it keeps getting rejected. Is there any way I can appeal the rejections?

    You can appeal pretty much anything. The question is how likely the appeal is to be seccessfull.
    What extra information are you going to provide that they don't have and that can make them change their mind?

    Do you have more than one student account overdrawn??


    Anything on your credit report which might help them to decline you??


    Which year are you on now?

    Yes I am in credit somewhat often, not as often as I'd like obviously!

    No I only have the one account. Nothing that I can think of off the top of my head. I am about to start my second year of my course but my third year of having a student account

    Have you actually checked your credit files - have you ever had a payday loan.
